Warrington’s special tribute to NHS heroes

0

A special tribute has been painted on roads in three areas of Warrington in recognition of the heroic NHS staff who are helping in the fight against the COVID-19 crisis.

Warrington Borough Council helped organise two messages on roads near Warrington Hospital – on Lovely Lane northbound and Lovely Lane southbound. The third message has been painted on Sankey Street, outside Warrington’s Golden Gates.
The two-metre-square messages – which read ‘NHS – Thank You’ on a background of a heart and rainbow – have been fully funded by three companies, Hitex and L & R Roadlines and Somerford Equipment to show their appreciation of the great work done by the NHS, social care and other key workers.

Warrington Borough Council Leader, Cllr Russ Bowden, said: “The support in Warrington for our NHS workers and other frontline staff has been phenomenal, and we welcomed wholeheartedly the kind offer from companies who work regularly in the borough to create this fitting tribute.
“I hope these road markings serve as a daily reminder to all the heroic staff who are doing so much in the battle against COVID-19, of how much they mean to us and how much the whole of Warrington appreciates the work they are doing.”
